Due to changes involving other sites, it's been decided that the long-anticipated new DNA release actually finally is set to go live at 1000hrs BST on Tuesday 11 October (tomorrow at time of writing). This release will (still!) involve downtime of up to an hour, during which time members will be redirected to a holding page.
We apologise for any inconvenience.

I thought I'd missed the downtime, but no, I've got a couple of days off with full net access and it's raining, so you do it now...

In Canada October 11 is a day of Thanksgiving (second Monday in October). I am thankful that it's not Tuesday. (I hate it when a Tuesday sneaks up on you on a Monday, don't you?)
